Give me the food
And let me grow
Give me the knowledge let me know
I'm like the early early sunshine
Ready to enlight my people with something bright
Give me the shoes
And let me go
Fi buy a ticket
Take the road
Nah let me poor child walking
On the moon side with nothing
Oh did you hear my
Oh
Why when me looking so high behind the curtain
Everything you love ago build up my pride
Mi don't wanna miss any piece of your line
So nah leave me lone
Please nah keep me down
And so long the pickney nah row
Him go dance in the wind at the bow
So keep him dancing
Keep your children learning
I see so many youths watch dem deh pon the road
With no place fi run they got no place fi go
Maddest dreams dem a gone
And we a know we gonna bring back
So faith in the man of tomorrow
And Fatbabs said yes
In I spread out the way fi progress
Fi the little youth we affi give them the best
We affi give them the best place
'Cause we are the future my brothers my sisters
We are the future
